In this episode, I speak with Dr. Sam Goodman, author of British Spy Fiction and the End of Empire (Routledge 2015). We discuss the rise of spy fiction writers in the post-war and Cold War era, focusing particularly on Ian Fleming and his James Bond novels, as well as the appeal of a stand-alone British agent defending the realm. We also consider alcohol and its connection to (the performance of) British identity in a variety of contexts including colonial India and the James Bond franchise. Finally, Goodman muses about the potential for craft beer to be featured in future Bond films.
